## Challenge: Gridfinity Extravaganza
|
||||
## Challenge: Practi"FALL" Prints
|
||||
|
||||
This month, we're diving into the world of **Gridfinity**! Whether you are a long-time user or completely new to the system, it's time to show off your organizational skills.
|
||||
As we head into fall, it's time to show off the practical power of 3D printing with **Practi"FALL" Prints**!
|
||||
|
||||
### The Focus: Organizational Efficiency
|
||||
The goal is to create a functional and well-executed Gridfinity module that solves a real-world storage problem or simply looks great.
|
||||
Whether it's an everyday household fix or a clever workshop tool, bring in a practical print that solves a problem or makes life easier.
|
||||
|
||||
### The Focus: Functional Utility & Everyday Practicality
|
||||
The goal is to design or print a functional item that serves a practical purpose. This can be anything from a simple door stop, cord clip, or drawer organizer, to a crazy multi-levered bottle or can opener, tool jig, or replacement bracket!

||||

||||
|

|
||||
* **Required Components**:

||||

|
||||
